I first noticed this with the app from another satellite forum app, but now with the latest version of dbstalk's iPad app that updated yesterday, I'm experiencing it here, too. Does anyone else have a problem that none of the buttons/icons on the left third of the screen work?

It makes it rather tough, for example, to go back to a given forum's message list since that button is on the top left. And I can't even browse the forums list itself since that button is on the bottom left.

Hopefully it won't take them long to issue a fix. I intend to restore my iPad to a precious backup until they fix the issue.

Well, according the the post by Forum Runner they have no idea how long it will take.

Considering that the app is getting to be almost useless when trying to use it on the iPad (even if I start the app in Portrait the buttons will sometimes stop working, copy and paste is doing quirky things, buttons don't refresh in the right location), is there any way the older version of the app can be put back up in the App Store?

I think the issues with the app not getting updated are done now that they put in the new images.

I was just thinking of the time from when v1.6 was released by Forum Runner till the DBSTalk v1.6 was released. Was that delay solely due to the images? Also, I'm surprised that with a bug this major, why would DBSTalk even release this version? Considering the delay from when the bug was first reported till the DBSTalk app was updated, I would not have released the update. If I had known of this bug, I would still be on v1.5.

I was unwittingly partially responsible. There were also some major bugs in the older version, especially in editing posts while composing. I saw that there was a requirement for plated images and passed that info on. I hadn't seen this issue at that point. I started inquiring with ForumRunner about a month after the images were submitted.

At this point, they say they believe they have fixed the issue. Right now, they are waiting for Apple to approve the update to the main ForumRunner app, once that is approved and the issue is known to be fixed, they will start updating branded apps like DBSTalk. Of course this also requires Apple approval.

Fortunately, I don't think we'll run into any issues with 6.1, which cold be released in the next few weeks.

If you update through iTunes on you computer, the older version will be in your trash or recycle bin (if you haven't emptied it yet). Just delete the APP in iTunes and then restore the older version. Delete the APP off you iPad and sync with your computer.
